It was posted as a Letter to the Government
 
To All the Various Memebers and Hopeful Members of the Government of the United States of America:

With one election cycle behind us, and another already started, and various pundits on both sides of the political spectrum bleating about the meaning of the shift of 2006, I felt it was time to make my voice heard.  I am a regular American.  I have a family, a job, a faith, and thanks to my father, who was in the Navy for 20 years, a deep appreciation of this country I was born to.  I have closely watched the political news this past few years.  I have done my duty as a citizen of this country and voted in the elections that have come up, and prayed for our politicians and our troops for strength and resolve in the face of dark times.  And I have been disappointed and disgusted by the former, while I have been inspired and awed by the latter.

In trying to find the message that I needed to send to you, I began looking at what had me so disheartened.  I began reading and listening to those around me, those in the news, and those on the net.  And I realized that the pundits on both sides had it wrong.  The November election was not a referendum on the war, it was not a referendum on President Bush's immigration policies, the economy, stem cell research or abortion.  It was not about any single item on the agenda of the Republicans or Democrats in Congress, or the President in the White House.  It was simply about this.  The American People are crying out for leaders, and we are stuck with politicians.  We are calling for servants, and you are trying to be masters.  It is time for all of you, federal, local and state to recall why you have your jobs, and exactly who you work for.

Our Constitution ensures a government of the people, by the people, for the people.  You owe your jobs to the people of this country.  You were hired by the people of this country to protect it from enemies domestic and foreign.  To ease trade between the states.  Locally, you were hired by the people to see to the needs of your communities without undue intrusion into the personal lives of your populace, and without allowing undue influence from Washington.  In short, you all had job interviews, that cost millions of dollars, and in a perfect world would have been hired on the merits of your goals and accomplishments. 

However, in today's troubled times, we are not gifted with a government of the people, who have taken a sabbatical from their real lives to serve their country in public office.  We are saddled with a government filled with politicians whose entire lives have been spent in the game of politics.  The latest election is nothing more or less that an indication that the people of this country are beginning to once again look for servants, and more importantly, leaders whose only goal is to serve their country to the best of their ability, rather than to serve themselves.

So, to those of you who are already in office, consider this your notice.  Either reestablish your credentials and abilities to lead this country by putting forth constructive goals, along with concrete plans for reaching them.  Or find yourselves out of work come next election cycle.

To those of you who are currently contemplating running for office, and those up for reelection, we want to see your resume.  We, as your potential employers are not interested in your personal affairs, we don't care about your teenage misdemeanors.  We want to know what you stand for, not what you think the other guy thinks.  We want to know why you are qualified for the job you are seeking, not why you think the other guy isn't.  We want to know what you will accomplish should we choose to give you the job, and how you intend to accomplish it, not why you think the other guy will fail.

Our country is at war with an implacable enemy.  Our allies are watching and waiting for us to stumble.  Our enemy is waiting for us to falter.  And you have the unmitigated gall, on both sides of the aisle, to sit and point fingers, cast criticisms, and throw tantrums on the world stage.  The people of this country are tired of the antics of children being broadcast across the world, making the government of the most powerful country on the planet appear to be a circus.  America is entitled to adult supervision, and from here on out, we will require it of our leaders at all levels of government.  So please, think hard, listen to your conscience, and learn from your mistakes.  Grow up, and fufill the obligations you lobbied so hard to undertake.
